Pros

One of the only reasons why I chose to stay was the fact that the advisor I worked under spent time each week teaching his interns about the fundamentals of finance, wealth management and investing through different vehicles. It was a satisfactory wage replacement for an unpaid internship based around list-building.

Cons

There isn't much growth opportunity unless you are interested in being a producer at this company. And although the competitive nature of the business does drive performance, it also causes inter-office drama occasionally.

Pros

AXA will pay you very well once you start under contract, which can take up to three months. You usually make 3% of all the money you bring in, depending on what you are selling. Company is very focused making your numbers. You can either choose a salary($24,000) plus 50% commissions or all commissions plus bonus. Some make over $500,000.

Cons

You do not get paid for the months before you sign your contract other than any commissions. I went three months before collecting any money. It is very political and older advisors tend to rule the building.
